Apogee Rosetta 800 direct connection to HD

[sphereman]

Anyone notice on Apogees web site that the Rosetta 800 will now interface directly to HD? Thought that might be interesting news here.

Looks like the HD X-card won't be ready until April '04

However, for those of us that have a Mix system, the November release of the Mix X-card is right around the corner!!!

This is the best news I've heard in a while. I have been holding out on upgrading to HD. Digidesign will finally get more of my $$. Why do I suspect that Digidesign didn't support Apogee's R&D for this?..anyone know the scoop?

Sounds like Apogee is back on the food chain.......I think there might be something in the works with Digi maybe new A/D D/A cards because there going to lose sales on the 192.

I'm glad this came out before I upgraded.

Supposedly the pricing will be the same as the 192. Nice

I would think it would cost more than the 192?
Rosetta800 + interface + 192k upgrade.......

Just for the record i paid $2750 for my Rosetta 800 and the Digi Mix card was about $250. All brand new. Asuming the HD card will be close to the same. Last time I checked on a 192 with 8 a/d and 8 d/a it was about $3300.

I am thinking of upgrading to HD using a 192 digital and going ADAT or TDIF out to a couple of Rosetta 800s or Trak2s. Do the Rosetta's come with ADAT or TDIF capabilities? Has anyone tried this setup? Are there any pitfalls?

Thanks for help
